hi everyone,

I have done some reading in SAK/SAFH website, and according to what i have read there is this new policy about pre-payment. Before we have to send the documents and then for for them to send us the giro or the invoice but now they say we have to pay up front. I'm just a bit confused because there is this two kinds of payment price,one is for general license per se and the other is for the professions where practical services is mandatory. As a nurse applying for the authorization, which one should we pay?? Any idea everyone? Your answer is highly appreciated. Thanks

what i meant was, before, we have to send the documents first and wait for SAK to send us the GIRO or invoice....

@yvonnegabriel: hi! Im actaully a nurse too. In our case we should send the documents first then we should wait for the invoice. That is the time that we should pay. I did not pay yet though. I am waiting for my visa be approved.

@sab-burgs: as to your query last July 3, yes I have with me my authorization already from SAK . I received it barely less than a month after I paid the invoice.

@ yvonnegabriel: I am not aware of the new policy you mentioned that you should pay first before sending your documents to SAK. If there is any changes in policy, maybe that was just recent because in my case I mailed my documents first, then they sent me the Invoice. Then I made my payment thru the bank. To make sure, I even emailed my payment receipt to SAK noting of my invoice and customer number.

I am applying for Residence Permit to Learn Norwegian Language. I only have 800k for the showmoney do you think guys its enough? And so its true that it will take 4 months for our visas to be approved? In Udi.no, Philippines is mentioned as the country with highest number applications.. What do you think would be the reason for denial of visa? do you know someone who had been denied in this type of visa? I am nervous!

Hi!

what you saw in SAK's website about pre-payment of case handling fee is the new rule for applying authorization effective June 1 '13. That means that you have to pay the NOK 1650 via wire transfer from a bank here in PH to SAK's bank account in Norway (details regarding payment is in their website) once you have paid the said fee, you have to ask your bank here to generate a receipt with your name and birthday indicated on it. You will send this receipt together with your other requirements.

Personally, i think this is why processing will be faster especially if you have the complete and right set of requirements although you can never remove the fact that there might be other delays in your way

Hi!

in line with application for authorization in SAK, does anyone know how to get certificate of current professional status? I think this is the same with letter of good standing from PRC but I'm not sure, anyone please enlighten me

@yvonnegabriel.sb i'm sorry that was NOK 1560

Hi @ravi24!

yes, there is show money and they total at least 700kPHP. I must warn you though that once your visa gets approved, they expect you to spend atleast that amount for your studies, housing and everyday expenses for a year, so technically, it's not just show money, you will definitely spend that money to get you settled in Norway for a year (This is a bit expensive but atleast you can find a part time job )

@mjmj and gemsky: yes guys, as of june 1 we should pay first then attach the invoice or the receipt in our documents and send it to SAK. That is the new policy. No more waiting for giro..
